Battle Damaged Samus cosplay

Hey guys! Super excited to share this new cosplay that I just shot over the weekend!
I had the idea to do a battle damaged “Zero Suit” Samus, which included her arm cannon and a few pieces of damaged armor. I wanted it to look like she had really been beaten up and grabbed whatever armor bits she could to keep on going! I’m really happy and proud of the result.

I ended up going (I feel) pretty stylized with a lot of the weathering and wanted to make it look pretty over the top, to really make it look more “video game”-esque.

- Wig is a Jeannie in Fairy Blonde from Arda Wigs

Suit before and after! I still have a spare non damaged suit that was sewn to my dimensions, this was just a cheap one from Amazon that I felt ok tearing up for this specific look. This is just suit damage, for the full look I added a lot of fake blood etc. to the skin that’s showing.

Very short look at my armor making process! Made with EVA foam, shaped/ damaged with a dremel tool, a few coats of plastidip, silver spray paint, metallic car paint colors, and then hand painting for the details/weathering.

Here’s my original concept that I quickly drew up when I first had the idea! Obviously some things changed, but it was nice to give myself more of a concept to go off of :)
